This just in.....

A colorful envelope from Dos Fishes and that bowl again (I can't get over it). Sometimes the USPS outdoes itself -- and other times? Not so much.
I haven't received a letter mailed to me from Boston ten days ago and the envelope Mim sent me with French stamps inside never was delivered either. What gives?

(Right after I posted this, Mim emailed and said she wrote the wrong address on her envelope to me and she is re-sending. That clears up the mystery of one of the missing letters anyway.)

Typewriters all over town these days

A few going out from me....

Another typewriter spotted

Outgoing today - Fast Eyes is getting some fast eyes.......

A stop for some Vietnamese pho

Are these mailboxes colorful or just sad?
You decide.

I know it is not polite to say, but I don't like graffiti. I know there are many, many who support this sort of public art and free expression, but I'm not one of them. And even when I was young, I didn't like it, so it isn't just my age speaking ;-)

I was thinking about that plate, and then the Pho got me distracted. Food does that. That really is amazing and wonderful that the plate made it. I have many postcards that arrive damaged, so this is nothing short of a miracle. I think that letter carriers appreciate this though - as an amusement and as a demonstration of their abilities.

I've been ill for a a week but that Pho really made me hungry.... and that bowl! Awesome! I liked the WWII link to it - tomorrow is National Remembrance day, we have a 2 minute silence for all the victims of the war and Thursday we celebrate our freedom. The 2 minute silence is very impressive, the whole country goes quiet.

wow - totally amazing on the bowl. i got a postcard with 2 coins taped to it. i'm surprised it didn't trip up a machine and get totally destroyed. i don't like that grafitti, does nothing for the mail boxes.

@Aurora - I taped a peso to a Mexican themed postcard I made but it didn't make it.....(did you get your packet of envelopes I sent?).@Katie - lots and lots of typewriters all over SF, some are very expensiveand some are not. I see them them a lot on eBay but shipping is a lot@Annejo -- feel better soon (I have been sick too)@PostMuse and Aurora -- the grafitti is losing....I didn't like it either but it caught my eye
